Read Ecclesiastes 7 in context

Scripture Focus

24That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?

25I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

Ecclesiastes 7:24-25

Biblical Context

The passage questions how one discovers deep, distant truth and declares a deliberate turning of the heart toward wisdom, seeking the reasons behind things and recognizing folly.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, the far-off and exceeding deep is not 'out there' but a projection of a mind not yet turned inward. When you say 'I applied my heart,' you fix your attention on the inner question: I am the I AM, and I can know the reason of things by the light of awareness. The search is not for facts but for states of consciousness that give form to every event. Wisdom, in this sense, is the alignment of your imagination with your essential being, a steady assumption that all cause rests within the I AM and can be known by feeling-led revision. To know the wickedness of folly is to notice the mental residue that produces mistaken judgments and madness, then to clean house by refusing its claim and choosing a truer impression. By dwelling in the end result—complete knowledge of the reason of things—you awaken the inner law that shapes conditions, and your outer world reflects that inner coherence.

Practice This Now

Assume the consciousness that already knows the reason of things; mentally revise any sense of distance as an old dream and feel it as done. Repeat: I know the cause of all things within me now.
